| difference between an active and a passive preamp? Thanks! No, mine is a stock unit. I am leaning towards the Tortuga Audio but have not made my mind yet. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? My DAC is Musatex Bitstream. Amp is Class D. Thanks. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? I am bumping an old thread here!I am leaning towards going with a passive preamp. Although, I am not into numbers too much because as long as you like the sound, who cares but in this case, I think it is important to check some numbers.Is passive ... | |
| Harbeth Love and your experiences I should also add that (obviously) above is my opinion. Everyone is different. No, Harbeth will not rock the house, no they are not party speakers. So, I guess there will be people who even hate Harbeths:) | |
| Harbeth Love and your experiences No offense to people who spend big bucks on "ultra high-end" expensive speakers. Really, Harbeth is the only speaker you need. I have heard and owned many speakers. Some cheap, some expensive. I owned from Sonus Faber Extrema to Elac, Magnepan to ... | |
| What is most important part of a system? Thanks for all the replies. Of course everything is important in the system. As I mentioned, every component including cables were all high-end. You cannot just expect a $10K turntable sound the best with $100 speakers. In my experience same speak... | |
| TETRA SPEAKERS ANYONE? Correction: It was the 105 not 120U.http://www.tetraspeakers.com/high_end_speakers_pages/105.aspx | |
| TETRA SPEAKERS ANYONE? Replying to an old thread here.I think it was 2003 when I heard them. It was the 120U I think. Their smallest speaker. They were AMAZING. Even today I do not understand why Tetra speakers are not well known among audiophiles. I guess distribution ... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I think more people started to go buy cheaper but VERY good sounding stuff. For example, the new tiny Class D amps sound awesome. You would probably think "nah" when you read this but it is REALLY good. No, it does not sound as good as an $5K Clas... | |
| If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good? I like vintage Nikko components. They’re dirt cheap and sound damn good. Also I like JBL 43xx series speakers for same matter.Do you have Nikko electronics and JBLs in your main system? If you have other brands (probably more expensive), are they ... | |
| If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good? I guess I could not explain myself (obviously). I mean will you keep the cheap gear in your main system if you really like it or you want the expensive gear for little better sound? I would not ask this question on DIY Audio but I am curious to kn... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. SiaHer music is not for most people including me (some great songs though) but her voice is incredible. | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Among all the speakers I listened to, the only speakers that gave me accuracy and emotional connection are:HarbethSonus Faber (old models although the accuracy/detail was not top notch)Verity Audio (have not heard their new models)Also make sure y... | |
| Any experience with Verity Parsifal monitor ONLY? @ Rx8man: I saw that one. I am not too familiar with all the details of this model so I may be wrong but I think this is NOT Ovation although it says it is. If you look at the rear tag carefully, it does not say Ovation anywhere, not even Encore. ... | |
| Any experience with Verity Parsifal monitor ONLY? Am I wrong when I say Verity Audio does not get raved enough in general? @Bjesien Any luck trying them with the REL? |
